Atom Nation
Another quiet week at home for the Atoms as the only event on campus was freshman and JV football. Both teams provided an exciting atmosphere vs Justice, something we continue to strive to build at Annandale High School. Many of our programs were on the road and represented Annandale well! We are beginning to wind down our regular season in fall sports but there is still plenty of action to catch and we encourage all of you to come out and support our Atom student-athletes!
As you prepare to attend our games make sure that you have purchased your Atoms Booster Pass and skip the line as you come out and support!

Atoms Athletics Recap
Determination and grit was on display this week in Atoms Athletics! A quick recap from the week is below.
Atoms Golf officially ended their season with Carter Demers competing the region tournament Monday at Twin Lakes. Carter represented the Atoms well and with one graduating senior, the future is bright for the golf program.
Atoms Field Hockey moved to 5-0 in district play and positioned themselves for the number one overall seed in the upcoming district tournament with only two games left! The Atoms took down TJ in convincing fashion with a 4-0 win Wednesday evening! The Atoms finish the regular season with a home game vs Justice Tuesday evening and hit the road to Mount Vernon Wednesday. The Atoms have guaranteed themselves a first round home game that is scheduled for Monday, October 16.
Atoms Volleyball fell in both matches for the week but not without providing some excitement both evenings. The Atoms fell to Justice but gave the Wolves everything they had during the match. The Atoms took Lewis to five sets Thursday evening before ultimately falling to the lancers in the fifth set. The Atoms return to the court for their annual DIG PINK night on Wednesday vs TJ. Make sure to get out and support the Atoms and a great cause!
Atoms Cross Country celebrated senior night Wednesday evening vs Justice. It was a special night for our seniors capped off by a victory for our boys cross country team. The girls had another strong showing with many runners continuing to set personal best times for the year. The Atoms hit the trail again this week with a race vs Falls Church Tuesday evening at Burke Lake.
Atoms Football traveled to Justice last night and fell short in their comeback attempt 14-12. The Atoms found themselves in a 14-0 halftime deficit behind but came out with some trickery scoring on the first drive of the second half with a double pass. The Atoms defense was tough all night holding the Wolves to no points in the second half. The offense moved the ball all night but a couple penalties doomed the Atoms in the end. The team played hard until the last whistle and look to get back on track as they host Edison Friday evening at Annandale.
Atoms Cheer competes in the first round of the National District Cheer competition at Hayfield Secondary Thursday, October 12. The Atoms will hit the mat at 6:30pm, so make sure to get there ahead of time and support the Atoms Cheer team!

Atoms Boosters Concession Stand Help
Attention Parents! Volunteers are needed to sell concessions at games throughout the year, starting with fall sports Football and Volleyball. We welcome any and all parents to volunteer but when parents of the particular sport work a game, a portion of concessions sales directly benefit that team. Concessions not your thing? We need drivers to pick up Chick-Fil-A or to drop the bags back off (slots are on the sign up). Or help out with parking control or spirit wear sales. If you are not able to help directly at home games, there are many ways you can get involved with the Atoms Athletics Boosters and we would love parents to come to meetings and learn how. Watch out for the Booster Blast and come to the next scheduled meeting, all are welcome! Thank you for your support for Atom’s Athletics!

Special Ask... Atoms After School Snack Bar
As many of you know, the Atoms Athletic Boosters has been able to open our concessions stand after school for your children to grab a bite to eat prior to heading to their activities. If your schedule allows, please consider volunteering 1 day a week or even just 1-2 days a month. The hours are 3:15-4:15. This is a rare benefit in Fairfax County that we are able to provide for our kids, but we can’t do it without parent help. Please contact at odessapmurray@gmail.com or (703) 626-9647 if interested in helping.
